I just tested changing the notehead style and parenthesizing the note
and there is indeed a bug - while \parenthesize does position itself
well for the application of after grace the notehead style does not -
it appears before the \grace in the output, which the \attachGraces
does not like. I moved it inside the \grace {} construct thus:
MvmntIVoiceI = {
\attachGraces #3/4 c'1 \grace {\once \override NoteHead.style
= #'harmonic \parenthesize f'8} \AutoEndMovementBarline
}
and that is fine.
I don't know what command you use the get no stem, but you may have the
same problem with that - altering the order may fix that too.
